Optical Assistant
Casual position – St Ives, NSW
Sindy Lowinger Optometrist – St Ives, NSW
Not every optical role is built around rigid routines.
This one is different.
We're looking for a warm, proactive, and confident individual to work with children one day per week, with opportunities to grow additional hours over time.
This role could suit someone currently studying Optometry, Optical Dispensing, health sciences, psychology, education, or another related field who is looking to gain hands‐on experience in a practice environment.
The Role
Wednesdays required
Flexible hours each week, with after‐school availability essential.
Opportunity for additional days during school holidays and on Fridays.
Located in St Ives with public transport nearby.
What You'll Be Doing
Supporting children and families throughout appointments
Assisting with recalls and appointment coordination
Helping grow awareness of the practice through Instagram and Facebook
General reception and administrative support
Contributing ideas and using initiative to support practice growth
This is not a heavily sales‐focused dispensing role, and previous dispensing experience is not essential.
About You
You might already have experience in:




Customer service
Reception or administration
Healthcare or allied health environments
Working with children
Social media content or engagement
We'd love to hear from someone who:
Communicates confidently and warmly with children and parents
Is organised and adaptable
Enjoys taking initiative rather than waiting to be asked
Is comfortable with changing schedules and a flexible work setting
Has a genuine interest in eye care, children's development, or healthcare
Experience using Sunix is a bonus, though not essential.
A Working With Children Check is required for this role.
If you don't currently hold one, the practice can support you with the application process.
Why This Role Stands Out
Genuine flexibility around study and life commitments
Prospect to build experience in a niche area of optometry
Supportive small‐practice setting
Potential to grow your hours over time
A role where initiative and personality matter just as much as experience
Some roles teach you how a practice runs.
Others show you how patient relationships are built.
This one does both.
